Woodsedge Vocal Language Assessment
DEFINITIONS FOR VERBAL OPERANTS
Mand – Asking for reinforcers that you want (e.g., saying, “candy” when MO is present for candy)
Echoic – Repeating what is heard (e.g., saying, “shoe” when someone says “shoe”)
Imitation – Copying someone’s motor movements (e.g. clapping when someone else claps)
Tact – naming or identifying objects, actions, events, etc. (e.g., saying “dog” when a dog is in sight)
Intraverbal – Answering questions or having conversations where your words are controlled by other words (e.g., saying, “hat” when someone else says, “What do you wear on your head?”)
Receptive – Following an instruction (e.g., raising arms when someone says, “arms up”)
Please circle yes ( Y ) or no ( N ) to the question below: 1. Is the child currently able to sit at a table or on the floor and do simple
tasks with an adult? Y / N
Created by: Jennifer Lonsdorf, Spring 2008Last revised: 5.14.10 (JBC)
Please record antecedent, behavior, and consequence of any problem behaviors and estimate frequency (e.g., 25 times/half hr)
ANTECEDENT BEHAVIOR CONSEQUENCE FREQUENCY
Spontaneous Vocal BehaviorBefore or after assessment, please circle yes ( Y ) or no ( N ) to the questions below:1. Does the student emit any spontaneous vocal behavior before, or during observation? Y / N2. Are these spontaneous vocalizations different? Y / N3. Do they vary in intonation? Y / N4. Are they whole word approximations? Y / N5. Are they whole words or phrases? Y / N

each of the bins Hand the child a corresponding object/picture and say, “Match” Record (+) for correct response, or (–) for incorrect/no response

Sound Imitation Assessment How to run
o Tell the child “say ahh”, for example Omit “say” if child repeats it
o You can repeat the model once, if the first response is inaccurate or absent (give them a 2nd chance )
o Score the best responseo Record data as follows in the 1st column next to the sound
(+) correct response (–) incorrect response (specify incorrect response in 2nd
column) (N) no response
Information about sound acquisition According to Dr. Barb Esch’s Early Echoic Skills Assessment
(EESA)1, children between birth & 30 months of age follow this progression of skill acquisition: o Vowels and diphthongs are acquired first
Example of a diphthong - A complex speech sound or glide that begins with one vowel and gradually changes to another vowel within the same syllable, as (oi) in boil or (ī) in fine.2
o Echoic skills emerge by about 11 monthso Prosodic features of intonation, duration, and loudness are
evident by 6 months and all are noted by 23 months (but accuracy may be inconsistent) Prosody is the stress and intonation patterns of an
utterance.o Consonants appear first at the beginning of syllables (several
by 18 months)o Typical early consonants are p, b, m, n, h, and w followed by
k, g, t, d, f, ng, and yo and 2-syllables words and phrases begin to appear between
6-18 months; those that are 2-syllables are often reduplicated (ma-ma, da-da)
o Many 2- and 3-syllable words and phrases are acquired by about 18-30 months.

PART FIVE: MAND BEHAVIOR
Vocal Mand Assessment RUN SOUND IMITATION ASSESSMENT ON PG. 7 BEFORE
STARTINGo Refer to pg. 6 for instructions on how to run
Run a preference assessment and list the reinforcers in the column labeled “Reinforcer” on pg. 5
Use sounds from the Sound Imitation Assessment to determine what phoneme you will prompt with and write this next to the reinforcer name
o E.g., Cheetoh – cho E.g., Cookie – oo
If child has few or no sounds, match phonemes to words as best as you can
The process map on pg. 4 depicts the process of assessing the student’s vocal manding skills.
o Prompting is done in a least-to-most manner (e.g., sight of reinforcer, non-specific prompt, model prompt, then phoneme prompt)
o You will go through all the reinforcers twice Record data as follows in the table on pg. 5:
o (5) child responds correctly to reinforcer in sighto (4) child responds correctly to “What do you want?”o (3) child responds correctly to model prompt (e.g., “cheeto”)o (2) child responds correctly to phoneme prompt (e.g., “ch”)o (1 – specify response) child makes incorrect response throughout
promptingo (0) child makes no response throughout promptingo (N/A) child refuses reinforcer
Please circle yes ( Y ) or no ( N ) to the questions below, either before or after the assessment 3 :
1. Does he/she cry or whine as a mand during the assessment? Y / N 2. Does he/she grab or pull you toward a reinforcing item? Y/N3. Does he/she point to a reinforcer in order to obtain it during the assessment? Y / N4. Can the student mand nonvocally (American Sign Language or PECS)? Y / N5. Does he/she make eye contact? Y / N

Vocal Assessment Level Key: after completing the assessment, use this key to rank the child’s highest level of mastery on the assessment.
*If the child doesn’t respond at all for any part of the Assessment they would score a (0), If the child doesn’t master the early sounds but does emit some echoic responses they score a (0) but make note that (x out of __) early echoic sounds were emitted.
*The numbers in the parentheses are the master criteria for each level. For ex. in the early echoic sounds level (7/9) mean 7 correct echoic sounds out of the nine total.
